Why You Should Call Before You Go: Inverness Jail Visiting Hours, Lobby Closures, and Contact Numbers
A quick phone call can save you a wasted trip to Inverness Jail. Hours are limited, the public lobby closes at 3:00 PM daily, and social visitation availability can change. Verify before you leave home.
Before heading to Inverness Jail for a social visit, call first. Social visitation can be impacted without notice, and the jail asks visitors to call 503-988-3689 ahead of time to confirm availability. If you're coordinating rides, childcare, or taking time off work, that one step can keep your day from turning into a dead end at the door.
Tip: Call 503-988-3689 before you go to confirm whether social visitation is available.
The Inverness Jail public lobby is open Monday through Sunday from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. It's closed on holidays. As of February 6, 2023, the lobby closes at 3:00 PM each day - no exceptions. If you need to handle lobby tasks and still make it to a visit window, plan your timing around that hard stop.
Plan ahead: The public lobby closes at 3:00 PM daily (and is closed on holidays), so arrive early enough to finish check-in or lobby errands before 3:00.
If you were planning to add money while you’re there, keep the lobby hours in mind. TouchPay kiosks for depositing funds are located in the Inverness Jail lobby, which means you’ll need to get there before the lobby closes to use them.
Video kiosk visits at Inverness Jail follow the same schedule every day: 9:00 AM–11:00 AM and 1:00 PM–3:00 PM, Monday through Sunday. Since these are lobby kiosks, they shut down when the lobby closes at 3:00 PM.
Good to know: Lobby kiosk video visits end at 3:00 PM each day, but remote (at-home) video visiting remains available.
